Bees cooling the hive

 

The new bees seem to be taking to their new home well.  We’ve stopped feeding them and hope they’re going out to the gardens and meadows for their sustainance.  Kerry-Ann alerted me to some cool bee action the other evening.  The days have been really warm again, and the bees were fanning their hives to moderate the temperature.  The hive on the west was obviously the hottest at the end of the day.  The sound coming from their buzzing butts was pretty intense.

 

West hive has the most bees
